Thread: Is serpentine belt parts interchangable for V8 and V6?

The 4.3 six stuff is the same. If you dont need the smog pump, you should eyeball the belt path...it should wrap without another idler.

Be aware that there are two different bolt patterns for the end of Chevy small block heads. Make sure your brackets fit the heads that you have before you go too far....

Like Mike said the 4.3 stuff should be usable. Astro Vans, s10 and full size pick ups. Be careful with the Camaro/Firebird stuff because they were mostly 60* 2.8's, 3.1's and 3.4's so the brackets wouldn't be a bolt on for your small block.
